Dear Andra,
As one of MoveOn's dedicated donors, we wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some highlights of MoveOn's work over the past month—and what a month it has been!
We kicked off the month with thousands of MoveOn members taking to the streets with our allies to support May Day protests across the country, raising our voices to demand that Donald Trump and Elon Musk stop slashing resources for working people in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. And by the end of the month, we watched Musk leave his role in the administration, thanks in part to the massive outcry from MoveOn members!
Here are some more highlights of the work your donations helped power in May:
HOLDING REPUBLICANS IN VULNERABLE DISTRICTS ACCOUNTABLE
Last month, Republicans in the House forced through Donald Trump's billionaire tax scam bill that cuts billions of dollars in funding for Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP (food assistance) in order to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to billionaires and the rest of the ultrawealthy. Republicans know just how unpopular these cuts are, which is why they pushed debates on them into the middle of the night, created ridiculous rules that barred Democrats from calling out their lies in committee hearings, and are desperately hiding the truth of what is in the bill.
But we are not letting them run away from their votes. MoveOn immediately sprang into action, identifying the six Republicans in the House most at risk of losing their seats next year and putting up billboards in their districts to let voters know exactly how many people in their community would be harmed by this bill.
They looked like this:
These billboards are a one-two punch. First, they help to build pressure on these representatives, who are all afraid of losing their elections next November, to vote no on the bill when it comes back to the House for a final vote. And second, they help to prime voters in these districts to vote the representatives out in the midterms—regardless of how bad the bill becomes.
Thanks to the generosity of MoveOn donors like you, Andra, we were able to extend our billboard campaign and launch digital ads in these districts, reaching even more voters and increasing our impact!
SUPPORTING DEMOCRATIC CHAMPIONS TAKING ACTION AGAINST TRUMP
In May, MoveOn also announced the launch of our Democratic Champions Fund, which is a new way for MoveOn members to show their support for Democrats who are taking a real stand against the abuses of Donald Trump and his administration.
We launched the fund with Representative LaMonica McIver as our inaugural champion, following the announcement that the Trump administration had filed federal charges against Rep. McIver after she attempted to conduct an oversight visit to an ICE detention center in her district. Rep. McIver was doing what we want all of our elected officials to do: standing up for the rights of her constituents and being a check against Donald Trump's abuses of power.
Standing up to the Trump administration isn't without risk—Trump and his cronies have used a variety of authoritarian tools to shut down dissent. That's why we launched the Democratic Champions Fund—to show those taking bold stances that we have their back.
Over the coming months, we will continue to add more Democratic Champions to the fund, giving MoveOn members an easy way to contribute to the reelection campaigns of those who are going to the mat for their constituents and every single one of us.
This work would not be possible without the dedicated support of MoveOn's donors, Andra, and we are so grateful to have you with us.
Thank you.
